Lt. 'Len' (I think) Higgins was Education Officer.   He later became Sqn. Ldr. but stayed at Jever.   He gave tuition to officers about to take their promotion exams.   I took mine at Oldenburg - and passed.   Des browne actually congratulated me!   My Flt. Lt. didn't come through until (at least I didn't know it had come through a few days before I collapsed and nearly died after coming off watch at 210 SU, Auenhausen, just a few minutes into Christmas morning, 1957.   I came round in BMH Rinteln during the Queen's Speech.   I only put my new rank up just before I came home on the trooper - just so that I got a better berth - and a cup of tea at Reveille! That was the end of my RAF service, all bar the shouting. Grp. Capt. Powell-Shedden, 'Fo-Fo', died late in 1994.   His obituary appeared in the Daily Telegraph, dated 10/11/94.   I have a copy.   It was he who gave me the nickname 'Pod' in the bar on the night of my arrival at Jever.   Pod 'Papa Oscar Delta' was my unofficial call-sign when I was a GCI controller at Borgentreich/Auenhausen.   I used it to identify myself over the R/T to 93 Sqn pilots when I was controlling them.   The Russian monitoring stations must have wondered what was going on!   From e-mail 24Sep05:"For myself I was, as a further extraneous duty, appointed as Officer i/c visits by Air Squadrons and Summer Camps.   A chain of coincidences arose out of one such University Air Squadron visit: One Derek Needham a Cadet arrived with his Squadron.   He and I had been to school together.   Later, after leaving Jever and joining the Fighter Control Course at Middle Wallop, Derek turned up on the same course.   After the course was finished I was posted to 537 SU at RAF Borgentreich, near Warburg.   Two months later Derek appeared at the same Unit!   The names of two of the batwomen in our block were Frau Pinnau (my shared batwoman) and Frau Gabe (pronounced "garbay").   Both, as were most others, were displaced persons from the Russian zone.   There was, I think, another woman called Frau Rust.   Our batwomen were 'straight', not like two in the block on the the other corner of the Mess gardens rectangle who were widely suspected of having lesbian tendencies, with a bed in their ironing room.

Notes: On 12Oct09 Ken wrote: "I grew up in Kent and the greater London area during and immediately after the war - watched the Battle of Britain from my backyard in Loose - except for a year evacuation to S. Wales, and then the doodle bugs.   (Nr where Mick Ryan was living at the time!)   Attended Maidstone Grammar School (where I was in the ATC and took my first flight in a Tiger Moth!)(same as Mick Ryan), Whitchurch Secondary near Cardiff, and Harrow County School when we moved to Ruislip.   Then the family moved to Newquay, Cornwall where I worked as a clerk for the County Council, until I was 18 and got called up and joined the RAF.   After square bashing at Padgate, I was sent to Pershore to be a "copper", but balked.   Because I had some slight civilian experience as a General Clerk was sent to Wyton, where I was assigned to Pay Accounts - and met Johnny Davis.   Johnny impressed me as a really first class guy - He not only taught me my new duties on-the-job in the office, but was sociable as well.   I was happy for him when he was selected for pilot training.   [Although I'd always wanted to fly, since I wore glasses, I'd already been screened out at Padgate as ineligible for flying training.]   I stayed at RAF Wyton until December 1951 when I volunteered for Germany and right after Christmas spent about three weeks at Lytham - including New Year's in Blackpool - before going to Luneburg.   Later that year we transferred by convoy to RAF Ahlhorn, near Oldenburg; then still later detached to Jever to open the new base.   I remember Wing Commander Bryant-Fenn as the CO.   Stayed at Jever until demobbed in January 1953.   While at Wyton, I was invited to the Air Ministry in London to interview for a National Service Commission.   Did OK on the tests, however I washed out because I didn't have "OQ".   As I was walking out at the conclusion of the interview, I distinctly recall one of the board members sneering to another "Who the Hell does he think he is?   Bloody Grammar School boy getting above himself - the bugger can't even ride a bloody horse!"   [which was one of the interview questions.]   As a working class scholarship boy to MGS with a 25% Irish heritage, that remark reinforced some family prejudices vs. the "upper" class that set the tone and direction for the rest of my life!   In May 1953 I emigrated to the US - New York - and enlisted in the USAF.   Served 4 years in South Carolina, Japan and Washington State - made Staff Sergeant - then took the "GI Bill" to stay in the Reserves, attend the University of Connecticut, take Reserve Officer Training, then return to active duty with a commission on graduation.   [Ironically, while at UCONN, in 1958 I received an award from the "Sons of the American Revolution" as the Outstanding Air Force Cadet, while another English Expat got the other award as the Outstanding Army Cadet!]   Anxious to resume a career, I accelerated my academic program and graduated before I had completed the ROTC program, but received a direct commission in January 1960 as an Outstanding Reserve Airman for New England.   But then came Catch 22 - since I wasn't flying qualified, the "needs of the service" criterion intervened - and even though they'd paid for most of my university schooling and officer training, they didn't recall me to full-time active duty.   However, I stayed in the Reserves as an Intel. Officer, eventually joined the Foreign Service, and had a concurrent active ready reserve, weekend warrior-type plus emergencies military side-career (promoted to "bird" Colonel - i.e. Group Captain equivalent - in 1978) - in Asia (Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea and Indonesia - as well as the Pentagon and other bases in the US, until retirement in 1991.   Still unable to fly officially, I did get a private pilot's license (Cessnas), and also got in a lot of helicopter time in Vietnam and the Philippines during disaster relief operations as a cargo kicker and people puller.   I also had a concurrent additional duty as a Liaison Officer for the Air Force Academy & ROTC Programs, and served on a Congressional Service Academy - i.e. Air Force, West Point, Annapolis & Merchant Marine Academies - Advisory Board, and was Chairman of that board for several years, until I left the Washington DC area in January of this year to settle in my Eagle Eyrie condo in Honolulu."

Dec56. Jul58. Notes: My RAF National Service began on the 9th August 1956 with basic training in Flight 15 'C' Squadron, RAF Padgate. When time came to choose a trade, along with Sandy Edgar from East Kilbride near Glasgow and Dennis Shreeves from Radstock in Somerset, from the myriad of choices available I opted for 'fighter plotter' not having a clue what it entailed, but at least it sounded interesting. The three of us were subsequently posted to RAF Middle Wallop for ADO training. This course was completed on the 20th November 1956. After that we then hung around for two weeks waiting to be posted, mainly filling time pushing light aircraft out of hangers. Finally in December 1956 we were posted to RAF Jever and not without some relief having avoided the Cyprus trouble going on at the time. We were given leave prior to departure and I well remember Frank Di Rienzo taking a bunch of us to his father's Italian restaurant in London by way of a farewell to the UK celebration before making our way to Liverpool Street Station and on to Harwich. I tried to find that restaurant again a few years ago, but without success. And so in December of that year it was a night voyage from Harwich to the Hook of Holland in HMT Empire Parkeston (I believe) and then by coach through Holland and into Germany to RAF Jever. Our first task as new Air Defence Operator IIs was to clean up Block 40 to make it habitable! The (now historic) terracotta carvings found on each door architrave of Block 40 still spring to mind. I found working at Brockzetel a fascinating experience; fighter plotting, radar operating, ground control interception crews, and finally as Air Exec's Assistant (CCA) in the main Ops room. I think everyone at Jever, whatever their task, was immensely proud of the Second TAAF aerobatic team. I well remember Flt Lt Goodwin performing his stunning aerobatics and negative G turns over the airfield and as Block 40 was fairly close to the airfield perimeter news of these happenings soon brought spectators rushing out to observe the spectacle. I also recall learning of the tragic accident that befell Flt Lt Sanderson from Doncaster during the team's aerobatic display at a USAF base. The news of his death came as a great shock to all of us. In 1957, I managed to save enough money to buy a guitar. At the time Lonny Donegan was in the hit parade and Jever had its own skiffle group. But I was more interested in the trad jazz of the Jade Basin Five plus one and received my first guitar lessons from guitarist Bill de Graaf. Later I used to meet up and practise with Bill's successor, Digger Davidson. I was never good enough to play with the band, but occasionally sat in on their practices. I did have a notebook full of the chord sequences of all the numbers they played, but unfortuantely lost it a few years ago. Those faces in the JB5 are as familiar to me today as if it were only yesterday. Many Saturday nights particularly at the Deutcheshaus and occasionally at the Schutzenhof, especially at Christmas, are well remembered occasions. I shared a ground floor room with Sandy and Dennis until early 1958, but then moved to the top floor of Block 40 and shared with three fine sportsmen. The window of this room was regularly visited by red squirrels. Mick (?) Cunningham was the rugby player of the group; Johnny Miller had been reserve goalkeeper for Hull City; Craig (?) Wilson was a Scottish schoolboy soccer international. M Cunningham is on the back left of one of the rugby sevens photographs on the JSL site. I was the cricketer of the quartet and played for the station. In 1957, I was selected to attend a Second TAAF cricket trial as a wicket keeper, but unfortunately had my thumb broken on the first day of the trial and so wasn't able to play when the station team later toured Holland. A Dutch airman Philip van Dok, a slow spin bowler was our Dutch liason and after our National Service we corresponded regularly. Flt Lt 'Daddy' Doyle is still a familiar name as is Wing Commander 'Tiger' Shaw. I still have the Jade Basin Five Plus one cartoon with the names of the band written on the back and a Royal Air Force Jever 1957 Christmas menu card personally signed by the CO (SWR Hughes) and 'Tiger' Shaw plus a few rather small photographs taken with an old camera. I never took many photographs whilst at Jever much to my disappointment now. I retained my final leave train pass dated April 1958 and stamped Wilhelmshaven Hbf 2, second class itemised Liege, Munster, Krefeld, Aachen and Koln. On leaving the RAF in 1958 I attended teacher training college at the College of the Venerable Bede, Durham and then went into secondary education. In 1968 I transferred to the new middle school system teaching at the very first purpose-built middle school in the country. In 1981, I was appointed to headship at another middle school and took early retirement in 1991.

Notes: NCO IC Tech Wing Orderly Room for a while before becoming NCO IC Station Orderly Room (as it was then known). Lived in private accommodation at the Klosterpark before moving into MQ in Schumacherstrasse. There was a private country house a couple of fields behind Schumacherstrasse which had a lovely lake surrounded by trees. It was well stocked with pike, perch and roach and the owner and his wife were only too pleased to let me and a friend fish it, which we did regularly. Happy days! My SHQ pal, Terry Bradbury, and I fished them in 1960. I didn't know of their existence until I noticed from the back bedroom of my MQ in Schumacherstrasse the reflection of sun on water a short distance away across the fields. The rest is history: we approached the owner (I assume the same gentleman referred to by J Fox) and he gave us permission to fish anytime. The place was an anglers dream and in the many months we used the lakes we never met anyone from the base fishing there. We got the impression that it was not an 'open shop' as to our knowledge the facility was not in any way advertised on the base. Up until then we fished a river, not very successfully, outside Carolinensiel which was a fair drive away - in finding Husum we discovered paradise! The lakes just teamed with coarse fish. I got the impression that the pike were not used to anglers as they were not quite streetwise - one was practically guaranteed a bite with every cast. Indeed, the WO MQs can be seen through the trees in one photo and the MT Section in the distance on another. Google Flash Earth give a good definition.

Notes: Svc No: 2524835.   Applied 1st choice Fleet Air Arm, 2nd choice RAF.   He arrived at Padgate for initial training (square bashing) on 27Jul51 for approximately 8 weeks, then spent 2-3 weeks on reserve flight.   He volunteered for air crew and spent 4 days at Hornchurch, after which he was offered an 8 year-term as an air gunner (which he declined).   On 31Oct he was given a job as a supply assistant under training on a station as a clerk of equipment accounts.   He was then sent to the transit camp at RAF Lytham St Annes, near Blackpool for approximately a month.   Around mid-Dec51, at the start of the Suez Crisis, my father’s draft were scheduled to go to Egypt and a draft of RAF Regiment were scheduled to go to RAF Jever, however the drafts were switched and my father found himself Germany-bound.   The Regiment later arrived at RAF Jever in Aug52.   The draft arriving in RAF Jever were a bit of a surprise, by all accounts: they were untrained and weren't RAF Regiment!   At the time 5352 Airfield Construction Branch Wing were still constructing roads and runways.   They discovered that he had typing experience, so for the first few months he became the camp typist.   The equipment section opened in Feb52.   The first job was to amend all the station supply manuals – a dull, never-ending job, which took months.   Fortunately the section commander of the time: Sqn Ldr O’Hara decided that LAC Hall and my father should run the clothing stores, rather than becoming the clerk of equipment accounts, which he had trained for.   Later on, they had 2 others to assist and someone had to be on duty 24-hours a day, as all pilot’s equipment came under the secure section of the clothing stores.   Unfortunately as dad was carrying out work which his RAF title did not cover, he was unable to sit his Senior Aircraftman's exams.   However, whilst he was in the Clothing Stores, he was permitted to wear corporal stripes which had to be removed when he left the section.   Whilst he was at RAF Jever, he remembers there was a serious fire in the temporary accommodation, which was a line of wooden constructed huts situated between the Guard Room and the Transport Section. Several buildings were totally destroyed.   In the Jever Laundry website, no mention has been made so far of the German Service Orderlies.   They wore dark green uniforms and carried out all the cleaning duties on the station.   Including the cleaning of barrack blocks, roads, pathways and gardens.   Perhaps these were disbanded after 1952?   During the whole of his service at RAF Jever, my father only attended about three parades.   His section commander stated that his men were always "too busy" to attend parades!   It was all hands to the pumps when kitting out beds, lockers, etc, to all living quarter blocks and likewise in kitting out the married quarters, etc.   Dad was discharged from service on 23rd July 1953.

Williamson was given command of 23 Squadron and then took charge of RAF Gütersloh in 1968. In 1972 he became Director of Air Staff Plans at the Ministry of Defence and in 1975 he was appointed Commandant of the RAF Staff College, Bracknell.

He was made Commander-in-Chief RAF Strike Command in 1980 and then served as Chief of the Air Staff from 15 October 1982 to 15 October 1985. In retirement Williamson devoted much of his time to the Presidency of the Royal Air Forces Association. In 1953 he married Patricia Anne Watts; they had two sons and two daughters.

Aug58. Nov60. Notes: Svc No: 5011803.   "I started National Service on 6th November 1957 and left three years later, after signing on for an extra year.   I was at Jever for two and a quarter years, after square-bashing and six months shorthand-typing training at RAF Credenhill, Hereford.   My Certificate of Service states I am an SAC, but I finished - according to some of my colleagues - as the oldest LAC in the RAF, as I was over 21 when I joined.   I returned by my job as a Linotype Operator with local newspapers for a couple of years, then moved to Maidenhead to work on magazines.   Then I spent 11 years in Aylesbury, this time working Intertypes until returning to East Yorkshire.   Eventually I had a typesetting business.   A new marriage, new job, and a completely different outlook on life following.   Now I'm a writer/historian, with a published novel and many historical articles in local and regional magazines.   I am heavily involved with the National Association of Writers' Groups and was chairman for two years.   Now 71 and a six or seven weeks, I'm a happy and contended man.   It will give me great delight in adding to the RAF Jever site.   I remember Group Captain I. S. Smith, Station Commander; Flt.Lt. J. C. Brown, Adjutant; Flt.Lt. Oxley; Wg.Cdr. P. H. Cleaver.   The young ladies who worked in SHQ for some of my time there were Helga Reichert and Siegrid Wells.   I lived in Block 40 most of the time, and my pals included Colin Leeming of Hull, Jock Webster of Aberdeen, Jim Silvester from Birmingham, Fred Monsey of North Walsham, Bob Dicker of Hartley Witney.   I also ran a little printing press in the office on which I produced station dance cards and the like."

Notes: Ken Senar remembers him e-mail 24Sep05: The Signals Officer was 'Wilbur' Wright.   Wilbur moved into the Mess after a break-up of his marriage.   He was a keen model railway enthusiast and his room was in the right-hand ex-Luftwaffe block (looking from the Mess patio towards the tennis courts).   He also had an additional upstairs room at the far end of the block in which, on a number of 'Tables Fold Flat', he installed his train set.   At least that's how it started out.   In the event I spent many hours with him and, over a period of a year or so, the layout became so extensive, and the operating system (for we had opted to make at least some of it automatic) so complex that it was included in the Saturday morning COs inspection schedule whenever the Officers Mess was listed for attention.   Eventually, when Wilbur was posted the whole was loaded into his car, with some being carried on the roof rack, for his journey back to the UK.
